Officials: Safety procedures
will delay restart of reactor D
WASHINGTON (AP) — Energy De
partment officials, declaring a need to
“rectify past sins” in its operation of
atomic reactors, on Tuesday announced
that the introduction of new safety proce
dures would delay restarting the Savan
nah River Plant, which produces nuclear
weapons materials.
Energy Undersecretary Joseph Sal-
gado also gave assurances that plutonium
and tritium supplies are adequate to en
sure that existing nuclear weapons would
not degrade or be cannibalized to assure
a continued strategic deterrent.
The three aging reactors at Savannah
River, in Aiken S.C., have been shut
down for safety considerations.
officials have ordered engineers at the
Savannah River Plant to start up the K-
reactor in December during a four-week
phased operation that should bring it
close to full steam in early January.

to postpone restarting the plant’s P-reac-

Sept. 30, Salgado said the P-reactor

department officials now have decided
that it should not be brought back into
operation until late 1989, he said.
The third facility at the plant, the L-re-

first three months of next year, Salgado
said.

New operating procedures are needed
to ensure safety at Savannah River,
which has come under renewed scrutiny
on Capitol Hill in the wake of internal
memoranda detailing operating problems

Salgado, Starostecki and other Energy
Department officials said.
“We have a moral obligation to rec
tify past sins.” Salgado said.

Powerful beam puzzles physicist
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A
powerful beam striking the Earth from a
twin star system 14,000 light years away
could herald a new type of particle that
physicists said confounds the standard
theories of physics.
The beam, carrying a million billion
electron volts of energy, comes from a
neutron star, half of a binary star system
named Hercules X-l in the constellation
Hercules, Dr. Guarang Yodh, a physicist
at the University of California at Irvine,
said.
The neutron star is nearly the size of
Earth’s moon, but is extremely dense
with a mass nearly double the sun’s.
The other half of the star system,
about 4 million miles from the neutron
star, is a star similar to the sun.
The neutron star is a large, spinning
magnet, generating massive electromag
netic fields and giving off powerful ra
diation.
The beam, first detected at Los Ala-

mos National Laboratory in July 1986,
initially was believed to be electrically
neutral gamma rays, which are high-en
ergy light waves or photons.
The problem with that interpretation
was that the beam hits way up in the at
mosphere and produces a shower of par
ticles, Yodh said Friday in a telephone
interview.
Gamma rays are not supposed to do
that. Dr. Darragh Nagle, a physicist at
the Los Alamos lab, said.
“That’s the thing that’s interesting
and puzzling about the finding,” Nagle
said. “There is the possible presence of a
new particle that is coming out of the
study of a powerful neutral beam.
“It isn’t the power of the neutral
beam; it’s this peculiar interaction in the
Earth’s atmosphere,” Nagle said in a
telephone interview.
Yodh said the discovery should lead to
new insights about sources of energy in
the universe and about the elementary^
structure of matter.
Yodh said scientists have come up
with several explanations for the strange
beam, which also has been detected by

Michael Dukakis and George Bush
sparred at a distance Tuesday over trade
issues in a prelude to this week’s prime
time debate. The Democrat vowed to
stand up for American companies and
jobs, while the vice president charged
that his rival was guilty of “protectionist
demagoguery.”
“My opponent needs an issue and he’s
willing to scare people to find it,” Bush
said of Dukakis’ recent emphasis on a
need to regain American dominance in
world economic competition.
Dukakis counterpunched a few hours
later as he left Boston for the West
Coast.
“I’m for more trade, not less trade. I
want to export American products, not
American jobs,” he said.
Dukakis also took a fresh swipe at the
Republican vice presidential candidate as
new polls indicated Bush’s ticketmate is
draining support from the GOP.
Dukakis said: “Dan Quayle asks us to
believe that if he ever had to fill in for
George Bush, America could get by on a
right wing and a prayer.”
Bush countered and defended his pick
for vice president.
He said that Quayle had helped draft
legislation that created jobs for the poor.
The two combatants in the race for the
White House exchanged barbs as fresh
polls charted a dwindling lead for Bush
with four campaign weeks remaining.
The surveys showed Dukakis and run
ning mate Lloyd Bentsen gaining ground
since last week’s vice presidential debate
between Bentsen and Quayle.
Despite the fact that the polls don’t
show it, surveys by the Associated Press
and others in'|-ecent weeks have made the
indication that Bush holds a marked ad
vantage in the Electoral College.
As of now, the race is likely to be de
cided by the results in several large
swing states.
Democratic party officials announced
that two senior strategists had been
pulled out of Florida in what seemed to
be a concession that Bush’s double-digit
lead there could not be overcome. The
two were headed for Ohio, a swing state
where Dukakis is viewed as trailing more
narrowly.
Both candidates have set aside time
over the next few days to prepare for
their second and final debate of the fall
campaign, set to begin at 9 p.m. EDT
Thursday on the campus of UCLA.
In a speech near Boston before flying
west, Dukakis mentioned several steps to
improve America's ability to “take
charge of our future,” including a major
effort to improve the nation’s scientific
and engineering capabilities.
“I want us to begin selling cars and
computers and compact discs to the Ger
mans and the Japanese and the Koreans,
not arms to the ayatollah,” he said.
Soviet scolds NATO for arms talks
MOSCOW (AP) — Premier Nikolai I.
Ryzhkov scolded North Atlantic Treaty
Organization nations on Monday for try
ing to extract concessions from Moscow
in negotiations aimed at reducing con
ventional forces in Europe, Tass re
ported .
Ryzhkov’s attack came in a speech at
a Kremlin dinner honoring Austrian
Chancellor Franz Vranitzky, who came
to the Soviet capital on Monday for four
days of talks with Soviet officials.
delegations are still unable to overcome
the temptation of pressing me soeialist
countries yet one more time in a bid to
gain concessions,” Ryzhkov said.
Eastern and Western European coun
tries have been trying for years in
Vienna, the Austrian capital, to agree on
mutual cuts in conventional arms and
troops on the continent.
“Regrettably, some NATO countries’
Western countries, led by the United
States, have claimed that purported So
viet superiority in these forces has be
come more of a threat now that the su
perpowers are scrapping their medium-
and short-range nuclear missiles world
wide.
Ryzhkov said the Vienna talks could
be sucessfully completed soon if it were
not for what he said was the West’s in
transigence.
Tass did not immediately report Vra-
nitzky’s speech or indicate whether he
responded to Ryzhkov’s charges about
the conventional force talks.
Earlier in the day, the two met pri
vately.
